Do You Know Connie Converse? – A Reader Needs Help

From time to time on this site, you the readers have tracked down some celebrities that have gone missing and now you are being asked again

. A long time reader turned to me this weekend to ask if I could ask all of you bloodhounds for some help on a documentary that he is working on. The documentary is about a woman named Elizabeth (Connie) Converse. This is what the reader needs and where you can send any information if you find it or have any leads.

Maybe the best contacts would be the historian Douglas Brinkley and his partner Johnny Depp. They have worked together for awhile and I think they have finished some Woodie Guthrie project that they have been working on. They would likely have access and interest. And of course Enty, who is BFF with Leo, who is BFF with Johnny, can hook you up:)

Don't know if this is her, would help to have a birthdate, but there is a musical instrument on her grave http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=converse&GSfn=connie&GSbyrel=all&GSdyrel=all&GSob=n&GRid=36882188&df=all&

Heavy drinking, heavy smoking depressive with health problems disappears for 40 years…it's 99.9% certain that she's dead, probably unidentified or under an assumed name. She would be 90 if she were alive. It wasn't that difficult in 1974 to change your identity.

But if she did live for a while under a new identity, she may well have gone back to writing and playing music. Look for an older, obscure folk musician who suddenly appeared in the late 70's or 80's. Probably only semi-famous locally. Whose songs, other than her own, did she like to cover? Look for someone fitting that profile known for playing the same type of songs.
